I don’t care if it’s semi-comprehensible spam — I’ll take encouragement where I can get it!

I do not even know how I finished up right here, however I believed this post used
to be great. I don’t recognise who you’re but definitely you are
going to a famous blogger in case you are not already.

Cheers!

marthamaryspringerWhat dawn-pulse at the heart of heaven, or last

Incarnate flower of culminating day, —

What marshalled marvels on the skirts of May,

Or song full-quired, sweet June’s ecomiast;

What glory of change by nature’s hand amass’d

Can vie with all these moods of varying grace

Which o’er one loveliest woman’s form and face

Within this hour, within this room have pass’d?

— Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Beauty’s Pageant

Posted on September 6, 2013 by ubu507

 

 

2008.17Viktor Schreckengost
(Sebring, Ohio, 1906 – 2008, Tallahassee, Florida)

Renowned for his work in ceramics and toy and industrial design, Schreckengost also designed dazzling costumes for the royal court of the 1939 Akron Rubber Ball, a lavish social event attended by more than 4,000 people.  The costumes were made from rubber-based fabrics and represented the four basic elements (earth, fire, air and water) as well as other factors contributing to the fabrication of rubber, such as chemistry and industry.
